Any junkyard shifters you guys like to use ?
Thinking of changing mine already. It has no detents other than park.
-
The only original junyard item I used for a 700 R4 was a 92 corvette shifter it was great.
-
Been using the stock Camaro shifters, one with the factory cable set up and on the other converted it into a linkage shifter.
-
Any pics? Just wondering how much room they would take up.

My son just towed the 37 Chevy away today...for exhaust work at his buddies shop so i can't get any pic of that one.. I'll try to get a picture of my 33 tomorrow...it's in the dark barn and the fuel pump crapped out today :(

Dark in the barn..used a late 80's early 90's Camaro shifter, 700R4 and 4L60E are the same. Because the Camaro seats are so low and the driveline forward, the shift cable lays almost flat from shifter to transmission.
In the 33 Chevy I made an aluminum enclosure and mounted the shifter at a forward angle so the cable wouldn't bind. (The 700R4 is directly below the shifter in the 33). The shifter setup fits nicely inside the S10 bench seat.
Cut a selector indicator window and mounted a military style brake lever to the enclosure. Nothing fancy but it works and allows me to use the neutral safety switch, console light and back-up light (if wanted).
Yes - used a lot of aluminum diamond plate, floor, shifter and door panels next. ;)
BTW: Used the same shifter in my son's 37 Chevy but welded linkage on the side, bolted it the floor, cut a floor slot for the linkage and connected it to the 4L60E via an adjustable linkage. Works great, and has the safety switched, back-up etc all wired in.
Just hate to throw out good parts....
